Bowtiful NYC – Day 5 Recap
On our fifth and final day in New York City, Mary and I grabbed a quick breakfast of bagels and acai bowls before heading out for another busy day! That morning, I got to meet up and chat with with Carly from The College Prepster over coffee. Carly was one of the bloggers who inspired me to start my own blog almost three years ago, so it was so nice to meet her in person! It was great to get to know her a little bit better and chat about the blogging industry as well as what's it's like to live …

NYC ’14 Haul {video}
As most of you know from the numerous photos and blog posts I've put up recently, I went to New York City last month!

Bowtiful NYC – Day 2 Recap
On our second full day in New York City, we got up in the morning, got ready for the day, and took the subway to SoHo. Our first stop was RBBTS cafe (sadly closed) on Sullivan for brunch and after finishing off our coffee and food we shopped around the neighborhood for a bit. The area was just the right amount of busy and the streets were lined with shops, cafes, and street artists selling and creating their work. Our first shopping stop was Alex & Ani. It was a lot of fun to visit one …

Bowtiful NYC – Day 1 Recap
We started off our first full day in New York City by waking up to an amazing view from the windows of our hotel room. Shortly after getting up, Starbucks was also brought into play so we'd be fully prepped and energized for the day. For brunch, we went to Plenty Cafe and I got the most delicious bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a biscuit which came with a really yummy side salad. They were playing a lot of acoustic and alternative music with some of my favorite Michael Bublé and John …
